The Down Under Lounge

When I was young we had the Commonwealth Employment Service who actually helped people find work. I once got told off for turning up a little too often to see if there were any suitable jobs I could apply for.

Edited to add - Centrelink came into being in 1997 - I thought it was earlier than that. The Department of Social Services was better than Centrelink.

For connoisseurs of fine food...

Smith's Chips are back, with Bega Cheese flavour and Heinz Tomato Ketchup flavour.

The cheese ones are ok, but the tomato ones are very moreish. Check 'em out.

What?

I purchased a packet of Smiths Chicken chips today and they taste different to the last time I tried them.

Cheese and onion are the only ones that I like.
 
Did they go away?!

And yeah, cheese and onion.. very good.

My favorite LONG GONE chips were Smith's Pepper Steak. They were HOT, they were very beefy, very black pepper, very.. god I loved them. I really really loved them.

Yes! yes! yes! in the best Meg Ryan orgasm voice.....

Pepper steak chips were so bloody addictive. Now you made me want some.
 
I found a bunch in a bargain shop after they had been discontinued and bought all of them.

That is years ago now and I bet if they brought them back they wouldn't be as hot :(

Kettle chilli used to be faaar hotter than it is now.

I still eat the Kettle Chilli chips but find it a bit of a random draw as to when they are hot and not so hot. Just seems to be pot luck when I get a bag off the shelf at the supermarket.

I really wouldn't want them to get too hot because when they are a bit too spicy they give me the runs.
 
The only 'posh' chips I really liked are the Red Rock Honey Soy Chicken and the Lime and Black Pepper. Can't have many chips now because health. :(

@teacake like Pepper Steak, Tom Ketchup and Bega Cheese were long gone too, so you never know, they might make a comeback soon too. And yes, they were very tasty.

I'm pretty sure they have because I think I saw a TV ad for this during NCIS last night. For the Ketchup ones.
